Changelog

2.3.1 (2026-03-31)

  • Added support for Python 3.15

  • Improved compatibility with pathlib (especially for Python >= 3.14).
    POTENTIAL BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITIES:
    • Renamed the incompatible patched utlx.epath.rmdir() to rmtree() (still
      provided as an extension to the original pathlib).
    • The old ‘onexc’ parameter of utlx.epath.rmdir() has been renamed to
      ‘on_error’ in rmtree (or ‘onerro’r for compatibility with pathlib3x).
    • The ‘onexc’ parameter of utlx.epath.cleardir() has been renamed to
      ‘on_error’.
    • The ‘copy_function’ parameter has been removed from utlx.epath.move()
      for compatibility with the original pathlib.
    • utlx.epath.move() now raises FileNotFoundError when the source (self)
      does not exist - changed for compatibility with the original pathlib.
  • Renamed copydir() to copytree().
    The old name is kept as a deprecated alias for backward compatibility.
  • Renamed cleardir() to cleartree().
    The old name is kept as a deprecated alias for backward compatibility.
  • utlx.epath.move() is now pathlib.move() for Python >= 3.14 instead of
    being a wrapper around shutil.move().
  • utlx.epath.copy() is now pathlib.copy() for Python >= 3.14 instead of
    being a wrapper around shutil.copy2(). Also, the utlx.epath.copy()
    wrapper is now much more compatible with pathlib.copy().
    It now allows copying directories and symbolic links as well.

  • Added the ‘preserve_metadata’ parameter to utlx.epath.copy().

  • Added a pathlib-compatible utlx.epath.copy_into().

  • Added a pathlib-compatible utlx.epath.move_into().

  • Added a pathlib-compatible utlx.epath.with_segments() for Python <= 3.11

  • Added a pathlib-compatible utlx.epath.UnsupportedOperation exception.

  • Added __slots__ to utlx.epath.Path to reduce memory usage and prevent
  • dynamic attributes, matching pathlib.Path behavior.

  • Switched from charset_normalizer to chardet.

  • Setup updates and improvements.
